hey people, have a question.
how do I setup bluetooth on endeavour OS?
I need to transfer some files from the phone to my pc.
Before when I used mint with KDE it just worked.
but it doesnt work on eOS
I did enable the bluetooth in settings>bluetooth and paired my phone to it but i still cant send a photo with it.
It seems I can only do calls and audio via bluetooth rn.

>>108696294
It's fine. Worst case you create some new files with less than perfect allocation. Run defrag on a timer if you're worried about that.

bacground: portal video game. sending an image to a smart watch. via a script or a executable.
problem is google and garmin watch dont play well together, so i can only send letters.
is there an ascii symbols whith a die, as in dice. with a single dot representing a one on the dice. it also looks like a companion cube from game. the cube sent is for my daugher and son that are trying to send signals to each othe. any help? for now kid identified that google and garmin no images untill update or patch; so for now they are sending "[*} to mimic cue from portal game.

I was using this 1TB Fanxiang shitbox SSD as a scratch disk for moving files and backups around (usually dumping a partition or disk to it, fucking around with it, and going from there)
Well, after a few months, a backup I didn't get around to restoring has certain sections that are only coming off via ddrescue at 20KB/s, and if it runs at its "full" (lol) 40-80MB/s rate, it will disconnect from the device tree and reconnect under a new sd[] number.
I'm obviously not going to use it for anything but funny fuckery in the future, but what do you think happened to this piece of shit? Why are some sectors reading at abysmal rates?

There are a lot of characters appended to the Google URL every time I go there lately. They start with "?zx=" and there's a lot of numbers afterwards. What am I seeing? Is this a tracker that UBO isn't catching, a virus I wasn't aware of, a new and nefarious rollout in firefox, what am I missing?

Everytime my monitors wake up from sleep or i wake the screen up, the tabs all minimize into one monitor, then the wallpaper for the first monitor overwrites all the others. I asked here before and they said it was probably an issue with Windows 10 and DP cables so i switched to HDMI and that fixed the issues immediately so i guess they were right, but my refresh rate gets reduced when using hdmi and i only have one hdmi port so my other monitors gets cut to 60hz when using an adapter, so i'd like to continue using the DP cables for now.

Can different brand DP cables cause issues like that? the only thing i can think of is a delay between the monitors detection time on wakeup, unless it really is just a windows 10 thing, but i dont see many other people with a similar issue online

This is probably a really stupid question but I started setting up a gopherhole to try and understand web and server stuff but how do I make it mangaeable by a local user iinstead of root?

Sometimes I'll see someone doing

someChar - '0'

to get the integer value of a character. Why would they do that, instead of

String.valueOf(someChar)

or

Character.getNumericValue(someChar)

This could work, I haven't seen anyone do this directly because usually WWAN internet is a big reason to have a phone in the first place.
Tablets often come without a modem and are wifi-only. You're basically looking for a small tablet.
My advice would be to find the most compact tablet you can. You can also carry a tiny dumbphone, either turned off or with the battery popped out, so you can call/text when outside if you really suddenly need to; they're small and you can fit one in a jeans pocket on top of a smartphone just fine (though the tablet is probably going to be the limiting factor).
Alternatively you can get one of those phones that have hardware switches, like pinephone. But they are usually either extremely expensive or extremely shitty, unfortunately; no mainline normal phone has them.

I went without a smartphone for a few years and the main thing you'll miss is probably utilities when travelling. Google maps giving you live traffic updates in cities, or having accurate public transport information in unfamiliar countries, and uber/lyft/etc. to get a taxi in most places in the world. These basically don't have non-botnet alternatives, and can be the difference between being bewilderingly lost in an unfamiliar foreign city and having a straightforward journey.
If you don't need that (or don't need it often) then offline maps with GPS only and otherwise just using wifi is very very feasible.

>>108699115
>.tar.gz
That's normal: when you compress a file with gzip, you get "file.gz". Same as "file.zip" for example. If you take "image.png" and zip it, it'd be logical for it to be "image.png.zip".
You just see it mostly with .tar.gz because you almost never need to compress a single file, but rather a folder; and zip supports folders natively but gzip either doesn't or used not to at some point in the past. So you collect the entire folder into a single .tar file and gzip it.

I do sometimes see shit like .txt.gz too though when a large text file (e.g. several megabytes of logs) has to be shared around. Also .img.gz, and .img.zip in fact too.

>>108699553
Do you want it for reading or writing/notetaking? Your original image looks like a purely reading device, but you say "work on". Supernote makes exclusively writing tablets I believe.
The difference btw is that writing-capable ones have a digitizer screen and support pens, plus usually have a larger screen and better local refresh features to make writing actually tolerable on e-ink (they can get input delay impressively low when just refreshing the few pixels directly behind your pen), often come with a built-in notetaking app. But at the cost of being a lot more expensive, so if you don't need that there's no reason to.

Boox is probably the most commonly recommended brand especially for cheaper writing tablets. Kobo also, I think mainly for readers; same for Pocketbook. But they all have both kinds of devices.
Supernote is decent for writing I think. Remarkable is the apple of e-ink writing tablets, they make pretty good devices but are way fucking overpriced, especially their pens and accessories - it might be decent if you just buy the tablet and use a third-party compatible pen. Stock Remarkable is also paradoxically surprisingly shit for reading, in that the OS is their own special snowflake stuff and their built in e-reading application is shit, though I think you can install koreader anyway. I don't remember if Supernote supports a decent reader, but definitely check that before buying if it's important to you.

The android based ones (like Boox) obviously give you the freedom to install any apps you want, but with the caveat that usually the special display refresh that lets them have low input lag while writing doesn't natively work with random Android apps with drawing/writing capabilities; you still have to use the built in note-taking functionality for that. But it does let you install any e-reader you want that exists on android (not just rely on a koreader port) as well as anything else like web browsers, sync/file transfer clients, etc.

>is there an ascii symbols whith a die, as in dice. with a single dot representing a one on the dice
ASCII is the most basic text set, so it's definitely available everywhere but it also definitely doesn't have dice characters.
If the "text" is ASCII-only you're out of luck, but there's a good chance "text" here is UTF-8, which is the encoding standard that supports almost everything. Including even emojis for example. And yes dice too: https://www.compart.com/en/unicode/search?q=die+face#characters

>Is this a tracker that UBO isn't catching
The other anon is right about caching but it can also likely be used for tracking. Regardless though, does UBO do anything about URL trackers? I never thought it had this functionality. Maybe they added it and I didn't notice, but otherwise I wouldn't expect it to do anything about unique tracking URLs.

>>108701356
I've never used it but it will depend on how the service is set up, is the server itself running as root? Or as another user?
It's common for system services and stuff like online servers to create a dedicated service user with limited permissions, that way if the server gets compromised an attacker can't just immediately go browse your home directory and personal files, unless they can also escalate their privileges to a better account on the machine (or gain root somehow) which isn't always possible or easy.

If that's the case then you should check the group permissions, if the folder and files for the server are group-writeable then you should add your user to the server user's group (assuming it has one which it normally should). If not then you can set it up this way - create a group, add the gopher user to that group, add yourself to it, chown the server files/directories <gopher user>:<gopher group> and chmod it to add group read/write permissions. But if it's not already set up this way I'd be wondering why and wondering what might break if I fuck about with its default permissions.

>>108701979
Because bad or novice programmers often think they're being really "clever" with shit like this. It's a common attitude to think that if you write something really clever or use a really neat trick, it's good and shows your abilities.

The reality is that in most contexts, code gets read (by other programmers, or yourself in the future) a lot more times than it gets written, so the most clever way to write code is in such a way that its meaning is crystal clear and obvious at first glance without needing to stop and carefully think it through - without compromising anything else like performance. But if you're a new programmer and haven't been explicitly taught this, it's not an obvious wisdom, especially if all your programming so far has been for "assignments" or toy projects that get written once and then thrown away and never worked on again.

That, or some pajeets or generally low IQ codemonkeys may genuinely just not have a good understanding of things and may write shit like this just because they learned it this way and just do it this way all the time without ever even considering whether there might be a better option. They've just memorised "oh, do this to get the integer value" and regurgitate it every time.

Note that in some contexts, arcane code can sometimes make sense. Old school game development for example was focused on shipping a game, usually in very tight deadlines, with strong performance requirements, and once it shipped you wouldn't be touching its code again, so quick hacks were a lot more common. (Nowadays this is rarer because most games are written around existing engines and also live service or at least update patches are a lot more common.) And generally extremely performance sensitive code might sacrifice everything, including readability and clarity, in favor of performance. So for example maybe doing

- '0'

is faster than calling a library functions in some scenarios?

But this is extremely niche and rare.

My money is on the monitor being defective. Some monitors behave like you described, I have a shitty MSI that does it. The same cable and computer works perfectly fine with a Samsung monitor. Some reviews have also mentioned that many MSI monitors are defective in this regard.

>>108703599
NTA but how would a monitor control where windows puts its wallpaper and windows?

>>108703638
The monitor pretends that it's disconnected (when in fact it is connected) and the operating system then reacts accordingly.
There is no point in having windows on a monitor that is turned off, so they get moved to other monitors that are available.
Dunno about the wallpaper, must be specific to Windows, but it still makes sense if you view the wallpaper as "something that needs to be shown to the user on a monitor".

>>108703678
>The monitor pretends that it's disconnected
That anon didn't describe anything like that though, it sounds like he can still use the monitor, move the windows back to it, etc. I don't think windows would let you do that with a monitor that appears disconnected (in fact I don't see why it would display anything at all if it thinks it's disconnected).

The only thing I can think of is a delay before it "wakes up" just like the original anon thinks, but that's normal on all monitors, I've never seen a monitor that can wake up from sleep instantly and it seems very unlikely that two different monitors would wake up at exactly the same time. Windows should handle one monitor waking up and being usable before the other, no? Any normal OS should be able to handle that.

>>108704086

Thanks for the suggestions about altering permissions, I'll have to read the man and readme a few times to see what they reccommend but /var/gopher's, owner is root, group is daemon so that's a start.
I dug through the readme and found there are apparently options under gophernicus to set reference folders and userroots as command line options which I missed the first few times for some reason.
But for whatever reason gophernicus doesn't seem to be installed correctly since I can't call it up on the command line.
The server clearly works because lynx gopher://localhost brings it up fine. Kinda confusing really. Will persist with it a little more for now.
If I can't resolve it i'll probably just install nginx or apache and play with those instead, gopher just seemed like a pretty lightweight project to dip my toes into the subject and make a little home file server.

>>108706208
>Wonder how badly that's going to mess up the cable spec
I'm pretty sure if a device like that exists it would work by terminating the ethernet cables and then just doing dumb A/B switching internally.
An actual switch also "switches between ethernet pairs" and doesn't mess up the cable spec. It's also way more complex than this usecase needs to be, since you need barely any routing or processing whatsoever, just forwarding everything 1:1 to either one output or the other depending on the physical jumper.

>>108707348
>owner is root
That's pretty weird for a server. Can you check under what user is the actual gopher daemon running?

>is there any way to not use that and just do so by logging into my router via my browser?
Have you tried?

I have no idea what "cox panoramic" is but if it's some app that comes with your router brand, it's possible that this specific brand made their management interface utter garbage and only accessible through an app. If that's the case then your options will be to check if OpenWRT supports your hardware and if so flash it, and then you can get normal settings, or replace the router entirely with something sane.

>>108707558

>>108707596
Yeah personally if my router told me to "download an app" to configure basic shit like this I would immediately get rid of it.

Remember that any app on your phone has immense access to shit like a unique "marketing ID" fingerprinting your device, as well as tons of general sensor data, and apps typically ask for a trillion permissions they don't need too just because they can hoover up the data. I wouldn't be surprised if you tried to install it and it literally demanded location permissions to run. Do you really want to give the router manufacturer full tracking access to everything you do and everywhere you go with your phone?

>>108708022
real talk yes electrical infetterance is almost the only thing that this could be
note however that it could be EM but it could also be shitty wiring in the house causing a voltage drop in your sockets combined with a shitty monitor blacking out on a voltage drop (i.e. not so much wireless interference as just electrical instability in your wiring), which I don't think a ferrite core or better DP cable would fix, if this is the case you'd either need to fix your house wiring or get a better power supply for your monitor

note that I know absolutely nothing about electricity

My PSU is a Thermaltake Toughpower GF3, and why would this matter to the monitor that is plugged directly to the wall socket?

>>108708046
your computer PSU does not matter to the monitor not plugged into the computer you are correct, why are you bringing it up

>>108708067
Oh shit. Sorry I misread your post. Currently the monitor is plugged to a power strip with a surge protector enabled, and then gets plugged to the wall outlet. But what do you mean by "power supply for the monitor" specifically? The soldered PSU inside the monitor?

>>108708079
technically yes, also the transformer on the cable if it's outside the monitor (it's part of the "power supply", it's just external unlike in computer PSUs where you usually plug them directly into the wall socket and the transformer is internal)
practically speaking a UPS would also likely fix this, but may be overkill

like I said though I know absolutely nothing about electricity, I'm just going off the idea that if turning on your lights is affecting your electronics that must almost certainly be caused by some fluctuation in your house's electric circuit when you do this (or at least your room's electric circuit), ergo fixing that or isolating the electronics from the fluctuation (with a better method of supplying power, be it a UPS or some premium transformer with large enough capacitors to handle fluctuation, or just a better monitor that has a better built-in power supply) seems like the logical solution

i think program installed with .msi is easy to remove from control panel programs and features

That is primarily for writing, but it will read ebooks and PDFs. I wouldn't buy it strictly for that purpose. There are cheaper options.

I don't know how I would check that but I think it was inetd

legit?
What is the deal with the tranny psyop?

I want to use a drawing tablet as a secondary monitor bit also to draw every once and a while. Is that a good option? Is there anything better I can do?

>>108708695
I think they're generally pretty small, no? At least the not super expensive ones. That'd be my main concern. I also don't know about the screen quality but it's probably fine for a secondary monitor, other than the size.

I guess the main alternative is buying a cheapo normal monitor plus a cheapo screenless drawing tablet. Downside is you don't get a screen on your tablet. If you definitely want a screen where you're drawing, then there's no issue with buying the tablet now and then seeing if you still want a separate monitor too.
But if you only draw occasionally and can do it on a screenless tablet, then compare the costs of buying one plus a cheap monitor. A normal 24'' monitor will almost certainly be nicer to use than a drawing tablet's screen.

This is going to be really specific, but does anyone in /sqt/ have Virgin and do you ever use, or do you have an account, on their shit forums?

I've used them in the past and they're helpful (eventually). Now when I go on every thread is locked, there's no posts more recent than 2 months ago, and there's nowhere at all for me to make a new thread. However if I search for recent posts it'll show recent posts.
It's like I've been shadowbanned except I haven't been on it in almost 12 months and there would be no reason to shadowban me anyway.

If anyone does have it could you log into your forum account and see if there's any option for you to make a thread? Just so I can check if I do have some sort of shadowban or if it's just their shit service being as shit as ever.

Google says the usual fix in this case is to press and hold the power button while plugged out to perform a hard reset. Problem is, this stupid tv not only doesn't even have a hidden reset button, none of the buttons on the front are physical buttons at all. They're like touch buttons. I also read the powerboard might have blown a fuse which seems to be a common problem, but replacing the part, I might as well get a new TV. Am I fucked or do you think cleaning the internals would help?
